    Russian is one of the tougher languages for a native English speaker to learn. Thank you so much this is not only helped me learn the alphabet but how to pronounce and spell correctly in Russian! You take a difficult and abstract concept and simplifiy it in 20 minutes in such a way for anyone to understand (was pausing and writing notes for retention purposes) Like this was such a good video and I am so happy I found your channel. 😊

    I was very surprised to see that the Russian language is very similar to Swedish. Most words and letters we pronounce very alike, and hard and easy vowels are very similar too. I’m really happy that it’s not going be a very hard and difficult journey in learning Russian as a Swedish Person!

    "Hard" vowels: а, э, о, у, ы
    "Soft" vowels: я, е, ё, ю, и
    Voiced -> Voiceless consonants:
    Д -> Т
    В -> Ф
    Г -> К
    Б -> П
    Reduction rules:
    1) Voiced consonant at the end of a word becomes voiceless
    2) Voiced consonant followed by a voiceless consonants becomes voiceless
    3) О sounds like "o" only when it's stressed, otherwise it sounds like "a" or "ə"
    4) Е sounds like "ee" when it's unstressed

You cleared up some frustrating confusion for me in explaining how the letter e can effect the consonant before it. Thank you very much for such a well paced and logical progression of learning.
